Sergio Medina 'feels at home' at Tulane

Sergio Medina said it's important to feel at home when chosing a college.

That's why he's committed to Tulane. The Hahnville senior switched his committment from North Texas to Tulane this weekend. He spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Uptown school. He toured the facilities and went to the construction site of Tulane's new stadium.

"The last two to three weeks, they've been contacting me a lot," said Medina, who had Tulane receiver Xavier Rush as a host. "They like my versatility at running back and playing linebacker, too. I fell in love with (Tulane). I like everything about it."

He's expected to play outside linebacker at Tulane, but Medina said offensive coaches were trying to "steal" him for their side over the weekend.

The 6-foot, 208-pounder moved to running back in Hahnville's District 8-5A opener at Bonnabel and played the position all the way to the second round of the playoffs.

Medina was drawn to North Texas' facilities, but Tulane ultimately won out.

"I like being closer to home, and getting a Tulane education is on top of the list," Medina said. "I'll major in business or engineering. They have good programs."
